CHINA,

-- Business

The annual meeting of the P.E.I. Potato Growers‘ Association was held in the City Hau Saturday afternoon, July 24th. with a fair representation of members consid- ering the busy haying season.

The president, Mr. E_ B. Mac- Laren, was not present, as he is on an extended visit to the Pacific Coast. In his absence Mr. Horace Wright, vice-president, presided. As Mr. Wright ‘was not. aware of Mr. MacLarens absence his re- marks were very brief. He spoke of the good work the Association had done since its organization arid was delighted with the large increase in business last year.

The manager, Mr. J.W. Boulter, presented his report and the fln- ancial statement which included the auditor's report. Hon. B. W. LePage, in moving its adoption. made a few remarks as to the value of the Association, stating that all governments knew of its north and were anxious it should succeed.

The retiring directors were: EB. MacLaren for Kings County; E. Howatt for Queens County, both of whom were roe-elected The oth- er vacancy for Prince County was filled by appointing- Mr. W. B. MacLellan of Alma. The previous director was the late John B. Mac- Fadycn.

A very important phase of the meeting was a discussion intro- duced by Mr. W. H. McGregor who urged that marketing legislation be sought to control the market- ing of turnips. l-Ie advocated the posing of a resolution by the Association to be presented to the Legislature asking for definite reg- ulations along marketing lines t0 prevent glutting the turnip mar- ket. A very interesting discussion followed, taken part in by Messrs. E. I-Iowatt, W. B. IiePage, W. W. Crosby and W. H. Townshcnd who emphasized the point that this was a Potato Growers’ Association, not a turnip association and that any losses from the handling of tur- nips should not be taken care of by potato profits-Mn Angus Mc- Phee who opposed marketing leg- islation, RE. Conelly who thought turnips should be handled on a commission basis, Mr. Garland and others. The discussion resulted in the passing of a resolution re- questing the management of the Association to co-operate with other large turnip shippers in pre- paring an act to control the mar- kctlng of turnips and to present said act to the next meeting of the legislature.

On motion the meeting unani- mously favored a resolution asking for a uniform sack of one hun- circd pounds for both seed and table stock.

The secretary's report in part:

Chairman and gentlemen!

We have met again for the An- nual Meeting of the P. E. I. Pota- to Growers’ Assoclatlon, to lay be- fore you the work we have done during the year, and for the trans- action oi’ buslners required at such a meeting.

We are sorry that our President, Mr. E. B. McLaren is not with 11$ but at the some time we are glad he is aible to enjoy s well-earned holiday trip to the Pacific Coast.

. European monarchs are.

and will not be back until later in the season. I would like Just here to pay a Wei-deserved tribute to Mr. Mcliaren. He has been a Dir- ector almost from the beginning of the organization. For the last two years he has been President, and like the Presidents whom be fol- lowed, he has. given luistinted at- tention to the work of the Organ- ization. He also has his own dis- trict. in which he acts as agent, well organized, making it one of the best in the Province.

The year has been one full of hard work and many disappoint- ments, caused by conditions over which neither the producer nor shipper had any control. Never- theless. it had, its bright spots, and if looked at in the light of today, counterbalances the adverse cir- cumf-tances to which we shall make reference.

The work of the Association is continuous throughout the year. We no sooner close our books on the 30th of June, which completes the marketing of the year's pro- ducts. and the distribution of fer- tilizer, then we plunge into the distribution of spray materials. These are no more than distribut- ed, when we again start marketing. Last year we held the annual meeting on July 18th. On the 6th day of August we shipped ollr first carload of turnips, and from that on, we continued shipping. May we point out one 'of the pleasant things which happened, namely, that the public throughout the

mlttee Declares De- ficiency In Army Reserves “Alarm- ing.”

(By I. Nonman Smith) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) LONDON, July 25—A group 0f

prominent men in English public life. inciuding two field marshals, launched a. campaign today urging strengthening of the British army.

“Great Britain's military pre- paredness is far less than before the war! Her commitments are greater! We have allowed the strength of the army to fall below the minimum margin of safety!"

Thus the Army League Commit- tee commands attenton today in releasing its voluntary survey of the hliiitary situation with strong re- commendations to "His Majesty's government and public opinion."

The Committee, under chairman- ship of Rt. Hon. Leopold S. Amery, former cab net minister includes Field Marshals Lord Milne and Sr Philip Chetwode, several members of the House of Commons, army officers and Lord Iiiffe, one of the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph.

While the Committee does not enjoy government sponsorship. its charges of an unhealthy condition in the British army are expected to receive close attention of the gov- ernment.

Tho committee stressed shortage of recruits has been manifest for many years despite severe unem- ployment and the greatest effort by the government to increase the number of recruits. Therefore, the Committee said, it is apparent the government must improve condit- ions in the army and raise thc pay.

“Public opinion must gc made to realize that exemption from com- pulsory service in i-he armed forces is a privilege which must be paid for." the Committee said.

The regular army, the Commit- tee said, faces two urgent, immedi- ate problems:

l. To find 47.000 new recruits and 1,000 officers to bring the army's strength up to the authorized fig- urc.

2. To correct the large deficiency in army reserves.

This deficiency is "alarming", the Comnrttcc claimed, owing to the vital ncccmity of having strong reserves on which to base mobil- izntion and reinforcements in event of war.

The army reserve and supple- mentary reserve numbers at pres- ent, arc 135.748 against, about 210,- 000 mcn in 1913. the committee said A central reserve was requir- ed. the committee continued. to

He was knighted in 1934 for his , service to Canada and the Empire ,

in developing the early-ripening Marquis Wheat which established Canadian hard wheat as thc standard for the world. Sir Char- les had been living here in retire- ment for eight years.

A complication of ailmentssent the famed Cerealist to his bed two weeks ago. Early today his condition took a tum for the worse and a doctor and his brother, Henry Saunders of Toronto, were summoned to his bedside. Death came shortly after noon.

Sir Charles was born 1n London, Ont., and then: another brother. W. E. Saunders, widely known naturalist, and his only sister, Miss Annie Saunders, msidc, W. E. Saunders, travelling in Quebec, could not be reached in time to come to his brother's bedside. Two brothers, Percy of Clinton, N, Y., and ma of Cambridge, Mass,

also survive.

While by no means his only achievement in agricultural rc- search, the development of Marquis Wheat was Charles Ed- ward Saunders most sensational contribution. C a. n a d a's wheat fields were being opened in the 1890's when Sir cilarlcs father. Dr. William Saunders, was head of the Dominion Experimental Farms and Charles and a brother, A. P. Saunders assisted in thc work of developing grain strains.

Marquis came about, 1n part. through the unspectncular chcw- ing of little quantities of wheat. That; was the way Sir Charles tested the gluten qualities of dif- ferent straina and he finally pick- ed a cross between Red Fife, a wheat grown extensively in east- ern Canada, and Hard l-‘tcd Cal- cutta, imported from India by his father.

The new strain almost im- mediately became widely accepted and today it is grown across the broad acres of western Canada and the United States. Its pro- duction has put millions of dollars ilito the pockets of growers and grainmen of the two countries and has won vaorld recognition.

Sir Charles ‘was graduated from the University of Toronto in 1888 and for a year was professor of chemistry and geology at Central University, Kentucky. In 1903. aftcr his sensational success with Marquis Wheat. Sir Charles be- came Canadirs first Dominion Oerealist. His work for the Can- adian Ag-riculturist consisted in painstaking sorting of countless varities of seeds.

Funeral services for Sir Chafcs will be held in Toronto Tuesday. The body will be taken to London with burial in Mount Pleasant cemetery.

As 10.000 wonkmen and thous- ands of other onlookers cheered, she pressed the button which sent thc great hull down the ways.

Signora Bertuzzfs husband has been employed in Italian ship- yards nearly 40 years and recently was decorated for long and loyal service.

A delegation from the German Labor Front joined their Italian comrades to attend the launching.

The Vittorio Veneto is the first tangible expression of Italy's de- termination to have “an ocean going il.'iv_v." one which will carry Italian Seapovver ilito the Red Sea. the Black Sea and the Indian ocean.

This determination was given official expression in the Cham- ber of Deputies recently by Ad-

miral Domenico Cavagtlari, under- secretary of the navy, whose an- nouncement of a new naval pro- gram was considered by diplomats to indicate a desire to challenge Britain's naval power.

Some time next year the Italian Navy hopes to have in commflssion the Vittorio Vcneto and a sister 5111p. in addition to four modem- izcd bath-ships of the Doria class.
